Chapter 396: There is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes
Chu Fan looked at it, shouted, and could speak Chinese, he really had nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it.
But speaking of which, there are still some reasons, people An Duode worked hard to transport iron pillars, glass, and crosses from abroad, and asked you Chu Fan to dismantle, throw it, and hide it, and he didn't even say thank you, so Chu Fan was still a little embarrassed when he saw this big brother.
Yes, after the ceremony, Chu Fan quietly listened to what the missionary had to say.
Anjude's missionary experience is still very rich, and the so-called missionary is actually fooling.
Anjude didn't know that Chu Fan knew everything about their current situation in Europe, and thought that he was on the same level as Tashi Zabad, and he started telling stories to Chu Fan with another old routine.
What Jesus saved, purifying the world, how rich and peaceful the Western countries were, as long as he has the support of the Pope, he can sit firmly in the Diaoyutai and even replace the king and call himself king, what if he assists in preaching, the Portuguese army can be his backing in the future, Yunyun.
All in all, he promised benefits and wanted Chu Fan to help him preach.
Chu Fanxin said: You can't play in Europe, so you came to us to bastard, you don't know about me?
As a loyal supporter of Christianity, in the context of the European Renaissance, the pope power became more and more unbearable, and the masses pursued literary and artistic works that were closer to nature and described daily life, while the church forces still strictly demanded that all literary and artistic works should not be separated from religion.
As a result, religious forces and people have drifted farther and farther apart.
Portugal, as a bridgehead for the Church and the New Literary Struggle, took on the task of finding more economic and demographic support.
This is why Anchod traveled across the ocean to preach in India.
Because in his cognition, the East, a rich country, has countless wealth, and has won over the people here, and religion has the possibility of continuing to control the spiritual world of human beings in the world.
A hundred years earlier, Portugal had been a poor country in Europe, and because it was not in the Mediterranean, it was on the edge of Europe, so the Portuguese had little way to participate in the prosperous Mediterranean trade, and could only watch from the far coastline.
The Portuguese, who were eager to trade with the East, were often very unhappy with the difference between middlemen, but they did not know how many times they had eaten the Oriental goods in the middle.
This upset the Portuguese, who decided to get involved in the Mediterranean trade.
So they smashed the pot and sold iron, raised an army, launched an attack on North Africa, and seized important African ports.
In the process of seizing the port, a large-scale war was fought between the Christians, represented by the Portuguese, and the Muslims, who did business with the port, and many people were killed and wounded on each other.
During the interrogation of Moslin's captives by the victorious Portuguese, the Portuguese learned that there were still large tracts of fertile land, rich kingdoms, and trade routes to the east south of the Sahara.
So the Portuguese began their voyage to continue the expedition, opening a direct route from Africa to India.
From now on, there is no need to buy Indian and Chinese goods from second-hand dealers.
As a result, Portugal gradually set foot on the soil of India and China.
Through more than 100 years of continuous opening up of shipping routes and continuous expansion of Catholic dioceses, Portugal's shipbuilding technology and iron-making technology have become the first European power.
In fact, Portugal has not been dealing with China for a day or two, but the Ming Dynasty suspected that Portugal was a Franco, looking like a ghost, and could not be on the stage, so it was because it had never played with the Portuguese, so there was a fact that Portugal entered from India today and went to western China to promote Catholicism.
In fact, the implementation of the doctrine is a matter of face, and Lizi still has to trade with China.
So when I heard Chu Fan say that he was from Da Ming, he was even more interested.
Chu Fan saw that this guy was hooked, and he was even more distracted, he had a wide range of connections, and he could speak well, Yunyun.
Ann Zhuode's eyes lit up, and he just nodded vigorously.
"So, I don't think this place is very suitable for you to preach, after all, Buddhism has been inherited here for many years, why don't you go to the Hexi Corridor to preach, I can also help you arrange." Chu Fan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, playing the tricks of human traffickers.
"Yes, my lord, as long as I can spread the teachings of Jesus to more people who are suffering, I am willing to go to the soup." Anchod clasped his hands to his chest and drew a cross in the air.
"Alright, you can wait here, and go back with me."
Although he was chosen by this group of rabble to be the talker, Chu Fan didn't want to stay here.
But after all, we are a trustworthy person, and if we say to help you, we must help you.
Therefore, in the past few days, Chu Fan has devoted himself to the study of the political work of purging the political work, and has strived to achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability in Tibetan areas in the shortest possible time through legal reform and political reform. At this time, there were only three large states in Tibet, and the three countries together occupied two-thirds of the Tibetan area, and the rest were small tribes governed by some Tusi.
The countries of Guge and Ladakh occupy more than half of Tibet.
Since the king of Ladakh was killed by his men, all the soldiers surrendered to Guge, and Chu Fan immediately agreed to their surrender, and arranged for someone to take all the wounded soldiers in the mountains back to the royal capital for treatment.
The soldiers of Ladakh were very moved to see that the de facto ruler of Gug did not kill the prisoners and helped to treat the wounded.
In addition to being moved, he kidnapped a number of high-ranking officials in Ladakh and gave them to Chu Fan.
Chu Fan, who received this gift, couldn't cry or laugh, and was all released in the palace.
Although these high-ranking officials are also Ladakhi nobles, they are not their own property after all, and during the period of house arrest, they all submitted a recital to Chu Fan, applying for their own land and people to submit to Guge.
In this way, Guge became a superpower that accounted for more than half of the Tibetan area, ending the 600-year pattern of the Three Kingdoms and the Tibetan area with many small tribes.
As the most important economic and cultural center in Tibet, Lhasa was also included in the Guge State of China.
In accordance with the current pattern and situation, Chu Fan drafted the first Tibet Charter and promulgated it to the whole Tibetan region, the main contents of which are as follows:
First, Guge recognized the suzerainty status of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of Guge and the head of the state religion accepted the canonization of the Ming emperor. As the largest kingdom in Tibet, the Guge State has since completed the unification of the Tibetan area, and no longer recognizes any individual kingdoms and tribes, and the existing kingdoms and tribes are highly autonomous as Tusi, but they must recognize the core status of the Guge State, and pay tribute, pay tribute, and donate troops to the Guge, and those who do not recognize the status of the Guge State will be subject to the conquest of the Guge State and the Ming Dynasty.
Second, Guge Guozun Gelug Tibetan Buddhism as the state religion, the elders of the Gelug sect are served by the Living Buddha Dasu and the Living Buddha Pandan, and the head of the sect is served by King Suoda. King Guge was responsible for the confirmation of the Dasu and Pandan Living Buddhas, and Dasu and Pandan Living Buddhas were responsible for the confirmation of King Soda, and the above three Buddhas were canonized by the Ming Emperor.
Third, the Guge Kingdom implements a centralized system, and the head of the Gelug sect, King Suodah, is in charge of the state administration and is in charge of the country's money, grain, soldiers, horses, and household officials. The king is the nominal leader of the state, responsible for diplomatic etiquette, rituals, sacrifices, etc. The Living Buddha Dasu and the Living Buddha Pantan are responsible for the study of Buddhism, the administration of religion, and the training of His Holiness Soda.
These three basic state policies, as the foundation of the political system in Tibetan areas in the future, must be observed by all nobles and high-ranking religious figures, and must not be violated, and anyone who violates the charter is guilty of a crime and will be punished with capital punishment.
The reason why this policy was set was that Chu Fan had several considerations.
The primitive aristocracy still hoped to continue to use slavery to control the political rights of the entire Tibetan area, but due to the gradual enlightenment of the people and the continuous impact of foreign culture, it was impossible for the people to unconditionally obey the command of the slave owners and the great nobles. At this time, Buddhism just catered to the spiritual needs of people's hearts and became the choice of many people. Once any force grows stronger, it will seek political power, and Buddhism is no exception, and in the post-Tibetan era of Dharma propagation, Buddhism's gradual growth of power will produce irreconcilable contradictions with the elite class.
The consequence of this is that the country is in turmoil and the people are suffering. In order to avoid human suffering, a complete political system is very important.
These three charters clearly define responsibilities and constraints, and are the core of the perfect solution to the problem of centralization of power in Tibetan areas.
The king is responsible for identifying the Gelug elders, that is, it is the king who is in charge of the religion, and the king's control of the religious boss is equivalent to the power to appoint the head of the religion, and in fact has a strong control over the country. On the religious side, the two Great Living Buddhas control the appointment and dismissal power of the sect leader, so that religion controls the actual controller of the state, which is equivalent to religion also having status. The actual controller of the state, although under the command of religion, is also controlled by the king, and although the head of the religion holds great power, he does not have unlimited power, and if he does not do a good job, he may be removed at any time.
Such a political system of separation of powers can effectively solve the contradiction between aristocratic forces and religious forces, but it also effectively restricts the power of the actual controller of the state, which is the result that Chu Fan hopes for the most.
As soon as the charter was promulgated, religion finally rightfully grasped the power of the state, but the king controlled the religion, which can be said to be a great joy for all.
At the first time, the king and religion jointly copied the results of political reform to the Ming court, and clarified the suzerainty relationship to the Ming court.
Wanli, who received the copy of the newspaper recital, sat on the chair and looked at it carefully, and gently tapped the table with the knuckle of his middle finger from time to time, looking happy and relaxed.
For a long time, the Tibet issue has always been a problem in the heart of the imperial court, because the entire Tibetan area is not unified, and the various factions and forces have been in cooperation and struggle for many years, and the Ming court has to come forward from time to time to mediate and balance all aspects of relations, so that whoever comes to the audience must be appeased and appeased, canonized a living Buddha, Dharma King or something, and over the past few hundred years, there are more than 400 titles of various types canonized by the imperial court alone, after all, pacifying Tibet is equivalent to appeasing the entire western region, and the Tibetan area is peaceful, and the imperial court can sit in peace.
However, suffering from the fact that Tibet has not completed the unification and centralization of power, it has always been a concern of the Ming court, and now it is finally good, basically realizing the unification of most regions, and clearly submitting to the Ming Dynasty, it is very happy and easy to see with Wanli.
But when he saw Chu Fan's name appear on the newspaper copying chapter, he almost jumped.
What's that? When did Chu Fan go to Tibet? He also became a regent and a teacher of the French king?
"Gao Huai, call Lord Shen, give Guge a decree, and ask Chu Fan to roll back for me."
Recently, Emperor Wanli took a breath of relief, after the loss of Liaodong, the second wave army did not stop the pace of attack, and continued to attack in the direction of Shanhaiguan, but because it was too far away from the mainland of the second wave country, the supply became a great difficulty.
The people of Cibo may think that the Great Wall of China is only very long, but when they go to the outside of the old dragon's head, they find that the Great Wall of China is still very tall.
For thousands of years, in order to resist the invasion of northern nomads, the Chinese built the Great Wall up to 10,000 miles, especially after the Ming Dynasty, in order to defend Beijing, the Great Wall on the Shanhaiguan line was built extremely strong, and the tall city wall could not be said to be cavalry, even the flying soldiers could block it.
I was dumbfounded when I got to the outside of Shanhaiguan, why is this so playing with us? How to attack so high?
Governor Konishi was very smart, and when he saw that this place was not working, he moved westward, ready to find a breakthrough, and he was about to go west to Zhangjiajie, only to find that all the walls were the same height.
The Ming army didn't have to defend too hard, and if you let go of it, you won't be able to come up.
Seeing that he could not enter the North China Plain and had no chance with Beijing, Konishi Yukinaga changed his strategy again, ran back to Shanhaiguan along the Great Wall, and prepared to retreat to Liaodong and then try to follow.
Almost at the same time, the first additional stock issuance of the Hubu Royal Joint Stock Company was completed, and the Hubu urgently allocated 400,000 taels of silver to the military department, and Wu Weizhong formed the new Qijia Army and went to Shanhaiguan.
trotted all the way to the outside of Shanhaiguan City, ready to shout again, and retreated to Liaodong's head Konishi, but found that this time was different, and the Ming army did not let him go home.
The new Qi family army rushed out of Shanhaiguan and brandished a big knife and slashed at the devils.
The panicked Konishi Yukito gave up the frontal response, ran away, and ran all the way to Liaodong.
Qi Jiajun still followed his steady and steady personality and slowly advanced towards Liaodong.
Eventually, they were stationed near Hakusan, forming a confrontation with the Jibo army.
The Northeast crisis was temporarily resolved, and the domestic situation made Wanli even more hopeful.
With the promulgation and implementation of the new whip law, coupled with the continuous purchase of cultivated land by the imperial court as low-rent land, the landlords and rich people everywhere could not bear the burden of heavy taxes, and began to sell their land one after another.
The enthusiasm for cultivation was unprecedentedly high, and the country's grain output increased by 30% that year, and the treasury tax revenue also increased significantly, so that Wanli, the poor emperor, finally saw the hope of the country's prosperity and strength.
On the other hand, the various industries of the Royal Joint Stock Company have achieved very good results recently, the living hall project has achieved stable revenue, and the real estate project has continuously expanded the construction area and sales scope, and the middle class in Beijing has basically spent coffins and lived in buildings.
And these profits naturally went into the pockets of the household department, and Zhang Si Xiu Shangshu did not forget to lead the party on the basis of strictly abiding by Chu Fan's capital control bottom line.
Funded to the Wanli Emperor to build a mausoleum, the new style of reinforced concrete mausoleum than the stone mausoleum in the past is more tidy, more upscale, the Wanli Emperor likes it very much, thinking that he will live here after a hundred years, the mood is extremely excited, and immediately decided to add an official to Lord Zhang, and promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet.
The external worries have temporarily subsided, the internal troubles have also been alleviated, and a new house has been built.
Since Chu Fan got out, Emperor Wanli also began to work seriously, going to court on time every day, and the officials also took a temporary break. Emperor Wanli felt more relaxed than ever.
Although I remember Chu Fan's contributions, I have been carried away recently, if it weren't for this Guge country's recital, I would have almost forgotten that Chu Fan was still mixing scrolls in the west.
Yes, seeing him go to Tibet to do things again, and become a big official in other people, this is okay, I still have a lot of things, you went to work for others? Get back to me, I want to see him.
By the time the will of the imperial court arrived in the country of Guge, Mr. Zundamba, the regent, and Mr. Chu Fan, the minister regent, had already left Guge.
After the completion of the reform of Guge's political system, Chu Fan finally submitted his resignation to the queen and the two great living Buddhas, and recommended the monk Suoyang Zong of the Heavenly Temple as the reincarnation of the next Suoda Dharma King, with the old monk Jiayang Danzhu as the scripture teacher.
Since the king will no longer be in charge of the government in the future, but only a symbolic head of state, he immediately arranged for Tashi Zabad's son to ascend the throne and become king, and the queen's descendants will take the throne and control the two great living Buddhas.
Therefore, after nearly half a year of war and reform, Tibet once again changed its vitality, political stability, the people live and work in peace and contentment, a thriving, in the original three countries of the smallest of the Luosang Kingdom, after receiving the Guge note documents, after weighing the pros and cons, the first time to bow down to the Guge, this leading role is very effective, soon all the small tribes, small forces, small Tusi in the Tibetan area have shown their loyalty, recognized the dominance of the Guge State, willing to pay tribute, and submit to the imperial court.
It's time to leave.
At the time of parting, in addition to the princes and nobles and the Gelug monks, the local people heard that the savior was about to return to the Han area, and they also rushed to see them off.
Chu Fan sat in the carriage, holding Qin Hong's hand, bumpy all the way, marching towards Ganzhou, Qin Hong was used to Chu Fan's shameless appearance all day long, and at this moment, she no longer had the style of a woman in red, leaning on Chu Fan's arms, enjoying the feeling of being cared for.
